However, you can only see the trailer and one of the videos here. Poor Elizabeth Banks. BONUS: All the proceeds from these videos go to […]

This project is gonna sound kinda wacky at first. I bet the people this photographer approached thought he was bonkers. But I’m glad they played along, because it seems like it made their days a whole lot better. One woman sums it up quite nicely at 1:30. It’d be really cool if you shared this. […]
